Halloween office art: Balloon Boy pumpkin

BB reader Felix Jung says, "My coworker Jane took this photo of a mini-pumpkin tribute to a little boy and a little balloon that had us glued to our TV and computer screens. It was entered in to a contest taking place at her husband's office, and I'm betting it wins, hands down."

In the lobby of our building is a pumpkin and Halloween display contest. Out of twenty entries, six are "Balloon Boy" related.
